While there are some big names in this bunch of cuts, none of the moves are terribly surprising. The 34-year-old Duncan struggled in Cactus League play, hitting just .208 (5-for-24) with no homers and five RBI. Sun, Mar 16, 2014 08:55:00 PM

Diamondbacks signed 1B/OF Shelley Duncan to a minor league contract.

The deal seems likely to include an invitation to spring training. Duncan appeared in 20 games last season for the Rays, batting just .182/.297/.309 with two homers. A nice perk for the 34-year-old is that he's now in the same organization as his father, Dave, who signed on as a pitching consultant for the D'Backs earlier this winter.

The lumbering 34-year-old slashed a putrid .182/.297/.309 with two homers and six RBI in 55 at-bats with the Indians in 2013, and wasn't much better with a .215/.287/.382 line at Triple-A. He'll likely have to settle for a minor league deal this offseason with an invitation to spring training Sun, Oct 13, 2013 09:08:00 PM

Parra has been on the disabled list for a week with a strained left elbow and it's unclear how long he'll be sidelined. "He still has a little bit of soreness in the back of his elbow, which is a little bit more like a bone bruise. It's providing some discomfort," Reds manager Bryan Price said.

Adock, who was placed on the disabled list Thursday, suffered a full tear of the ulnar collateral ligament in his elbow. He'll likely be out until the second half of 2016. The 27-year-old had allowed 12 earned runs in 18 innings (13 relief appearances) this season for the Reds.

It was the first time he's thrown since undergoing surgery in May to repair a torn anterior capsule. "He looked normal, not like a guy coming off shoulder surgery. Pretty remarkable," Reds manager Bryan Price said. Despite Price's optimism, Marshall's appeal in free agency this winter figures to be limited give that he's coming off of a pair of shoulder operations.
